What illness is the Lentinus Edodes Polysaccharide Tablet used to treat?
Currently, lentinan tablets can be used to treat diseases caused by low immunity and chronic viral hepatitis, and can also be used as an adjuvant drug for tumor chemotherapy. However, this medication is not suitable for everyone, especially for pregnant women. Additionally, taking this medication does not necessarily enhance the body's immunity for ordinary people, so an immune check is necessary before taking it.
Lentinan tablets are suitable for the treatment of various diseases caused by low immune function and chronic viral hepatitis, as well as an adjuvant drug for tumor chemotherapy. Chronic viral hepatitis refers to a condition where viral hepatitis persists for more than half a year, caused by factors such as improper treatment, co-infection with other infectious diseases, alcohol consumption, malnutrition, and the use of liver-damaging drugs, in addition to the type of infectious agent (HBV/HCV, etc.). Patients may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and discomfort in the digestive tract, as well as pain in the liver region, fatigue, and in some cases, jaundice. Long-term chronic active hepatitis can develop into cirrhosis or liver cancer.
The main component of lentinan tablets is mannatide. Mannatide is a combination of alpha-bonded mannose and peptides, belonging to a mixed substance, containing 18 types of L-amino acids such as mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose, fucose, aspartic acid, serine, lysine, and glutamic acid. It has the ability to activate phagocytes, NK cells, and T.B cell subsets, as well as induce interferon and interleukin. When used for tumor treatment, it can cause DNA fragmentation in tumor cells and viruses, leading to apoptosis.
1. Suitable Populations: People with low immunity; patients with chronic viral hepatitis; tumor patients undergoing or having completed chemotherapy.
2. Unsuitable Populations: People allergic to any component of lentinan tablets. Regular consumption of this medication does not necessarily enhance immunity for ordinary people. Patients requiring medication should first check their immune function.
